At 1:35pm on July 4, 2011, bairfoot cajun said…: howdy kenneth--yep sometimes i do make a dud,every once in a while i will get a cigar box that just wont behave,so i set it back in the corner till it gets ready for me to work wit it.if it still wont behave after second attempt,i take it back apart and let it set longer in the corner till i can get back to it.

At 2:31am on July 1, 2011, The Squid said…: you say you build standard six-strings too? cool as . ive made a few, not quite as satisfying as the ol seegar box tho. id like to see some of them too buddy ;)

At 6:53pm on June 30, 2011, The Squid said…: you should bung some pics up of the bits you have, so we can see how your doing ?

At 6:50pm on June 30, 2011, The Squid said…: great to have you as a friend too. it is very strange how addictive throwing a few odd bits of timber together with some wire is... satisfying when it works. annoying when it doesnt but then you just get in there and figure figure figure.... god i love it! lol.

thanks for your comments too. hope i can be helpfull with anything at all..enjoy!....oh.. you already are!! heh heh heh ;)

At 7:38am on May 26, 2011, smokin' axe said…: That inside label is glued onto felt. Pull gently, and it should come right off. Can’t wait to see the pics!

At 3:19am on May 26, 2011, smokin' axe said…: Excellent! Which box did you get? Do you know what you are going to do with it yet?

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
